Capacity is one of my absolute favourite things to talk about (and think about). Because it comes up all the time.
One of the most common things I hear from the mums I work with is this.
I just don’t have the capacity.
Not enough energy. Not enough space. Not enough time.
Capacity isn’t about doing more. It’s not even about time or energy. It’s about the way you think about those things.
In this episode, I walk you through how I’ve shifted my thinking to expand capacity in motherhood and how you can too. I share examples from my own week, what it looks like in real life (with little people in tow), and why our default thoughts often make us feel more depleted than we actually are.
What you’ll learn:
– Why it feels like you never have enough capacity (and why so many mums feel the same)
– What the difference is between capacity and energy
– Why your brain keeps telling you you’re full
– How you can add more breathing room into your week without changing anything thing on the calendar
– How to spot the sneaky thoughts that drain your mental load without you realising
– What to do when you want more space in your day but can’t take anything off your plate
If your week feels like one long game of catch up and you’re craving breathing room, this episode will help you find it.
